so i was another victim of the infamous stuck scroll ball, and tried many methods to clean it but wasn't 100% smooth

so i put it upside down and rubbed it very hard against a sheet of paper in a flat surface, that was STUPID as i destroyed the middle button which sits under the scroll ball.

I already put a request in the Neobay section but i think i will get something here faster.

Try dipping a small cloth in a little bit of rubbing alcohol and rolling it over the ball repeatedly for a few minutes, making sure to apply pressure as you roll the ball around. That fixes my Mighty Mouse for about a month before it starts acting up again.

that would have helped before i destroyed the middle button under the rollerball, now the rollerball is sitting lower inside the mouse LOL

    • Phone Dilemma

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

      I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week
